Family name Kind
My journey with iGENEA's DNA test provided a profound, emotional connection to my history and the Kind surname, leading to a profound shift in my view of my family and my place within it.
My interaction with iGENEA remains one of the most intriguing experiences I've ever had. The DNA test was presented in such a straightforward, simple manner, yet the entire process seemed shrouded in mystery. The days and hours leading up to the revelation of the results were nothing short of suspenseful. It stirred emotions within me I never knew existed, a mix of anticipation, anxiety, and excitement.
The moment my DNA results came in was rather nerve-racking. Initially, there was trepidation at the idea of unearthing my familial history — the reality that my familial ties may unravel to reveal something unexpected. But soon, curiosity and excitement overshadowed this fear. As I traced the genetic roots of the Kind surname, I found myself enveloped in a torrent of emotions. The surname that I held onto so dearly now had a richer history than I could have ever imagined. The screen revealed a story of migration and strength, resilience, and tenacious survival, perfectly intertwined with bonds of love and kinship.
I found an indescribable sense of connection to so many unknown individuals, people who had once held the same surname, lived their lives, and passed on, leaving behind a genetic legacy that I was only now beginning to comprehend. Suddenly, the Kind surname held a deeper meaning. It was no longer just a tag identifying my family in social gatherings or official documents. It became a symbol, carrying generations of history, linking me to remarkable individuals, and each revelation felt like discovering a part of myself I never knew existed.
Through this test, my perspective on family transformed drastically. It no longer felt limited, spanning across generations and geographical spheres I had not known before. I found within me an escalated sense of camaraderie for my kin, a sense of belonging to this big, wide world. The Kind surname became a powerful bonding element, tying me inextricably to my past and shaping the narrative of who I am and where I come from.
Overall, the iGENEA DNA test was an emotionally overwhelming and transformative journey. It managed to firmly sew me in the fabric of my ancestry and lineage. Despite the whirlwind of emotions, I emerged with a stronger sense of identity and belonging. Walking down the annals of my lineage right from my living room, I became more attuned to my own individuality and found common threads that linked me to hundreds, maybe even thousands, of 'Kinds' spread across the globe.
